£800 gaming build

[Hippygeeza]

Hi Everyone,

 

Planning my first build ever!

 

Would love some feedback on the system i have parted out, some is chosen from reviews/budget reason, some of it is cause i like it.

 

Have a budget of £800 GBP

 

My aim is mostly for gaming, but some little picture and video editing too. i would say 85% gaming.

 

Will be using one monitor to begin with, but may move to more later.

 

I do wish to overclock in the future but will buy better cooling for that as and when i can, its not an immediate want but i wish to retain the ability to.

 

I have keyboard and mouse etc already and a new monitor is not included in the £800 budget 

 

Parts list is here https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PmGfw6

 

Thanks guys

Thats a great shout for the RAM, the RGB was just to be pretty but i like the cost saving of that RAM. 

 

GPU would be nice to have an extra 2GB vram have never considered amd gpu's before, havew you tried this GPU? 

[Hippygeeza]

WOW now i have so many more things to think about haha!#

 

Some things from those lists i am deffo gonna research and find out more about.

 

Really wanted to know if anyone spots any fundamental flaws in my list?

 

Thanks

its roughly 7-15% faster overall and in general performs better in more modern titles.

i didnt like the PSU much, but other than that it was fine.

vengeance silver is acually the psu that should've replaced the cxm, but it flopped a little. it's a pretty decent one, but the pure power 11 is better

 

h500 isn't that good for the price anymore

 

mx500 is better than the bx500 because of a dram cache (i have a mx500 myself)

 

vega 56 and 64 are great cards, they need a solid psu, but can rock hard with one
